Wilkins sadly passed away at the start of April – Chelsea’s youngest ever captain played more than 200 matches for the club and had three spells as an assistant manager.

German legend Ballack, who was a star player when Chelsea won the Double in 2010, said: “I am very happy to be joining the Chelsea Legends game, raising money for some important causes.

“I loved working with Ray Wilkins, he was a wonderful man who will be missed by all of us in the Chelsea family, so it is an honour to wear the blue shirt again in his memory.”

Eidur Gudjonsen added: “”Ray had a huge impact on me personally and professionally and I know how much he meant to everybody at Chelsea, and the wider football world, so we will be sure to put on a great show on the night to honour him.”
